#Breaking: POLISH WOMEN GO ON NATIONAL STRIKE ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 2016!!! #SavePolishWomen #blackprotestinternational #blackmonday #stayhome #solidaritywithpolishwomen #blackprotest #wnaszejsprawie #ratujmykobiety #czarnyprotest background info: In September 2016 Polish government is debating a project of a law delegalizing abortion. Today Poland is one of the countries with the strictest regulations of abortion, allowing for a legal abortion only in three cases (rape, serious genetic damage of the fetus or risk of health or life of the woman). However, even in the cases when a woman should have a right to do abortion, she might still be refused the operation by a doctor on the grounds of conscience. Right now, there are thousands of Polish women expressing their outrage and disagreement - on the streets and in the social media. Demonstrations are held to protest against those unhuman laws. You can read more about this matter in the following link: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/09/a-dangerous-backward-step-for-women-and-girls-in-poland/ WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT: 1. Polish right-wing government just rejected a project which suggested a legalization of abortion until the 12th week of pregnancy, followed by facilitating access to contraceptives and a good program of sexual education. 2. Instead of that, the Parliament decided to discuss a law which will ban abortion in almost every case of endangered pregnancy (passed through the first step of Polish legalization path just last week) 3. The new law mention: - even a miscarriage will be investigated to ensure that a woman has not willingly acted as if she wanted to get rid of her baby; - doctors removing a fetus, even when a women’s life is in danger, will also face legal consequences (thus, what they all already are saying doctors will be afraid of charges that might be out against them if anything goes wrong and the woman will miscarry) - Women will have to give birth to children conceived during rape, to fetus with a huge damage and prognostic of disability or even death just after birth, despite their own health , both physical and psychological. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wor (at Poland)

Charts and lists, like this one, showing the titles of like-minded magazines were a way to align a title within an avant-garde network of magazines from the 1920s.
